Abstract
We report a case of hamulus (hook of hamate) fracture nonunion and secondary flexor digitorum profundus tendon rupture caused by repetitive wrist hyperextension sustained during clay shotgun shooting. The hyperextension caused avulsion of the hamulus by the pisohamate ligament. The hamulus was excised and a flexor digitorum profundus tendon transfer of the ring to small finger side to side was performed with satisfactory outcome.
